All you need to do is look inside and realize that you are your own hero. Have you experienced a trauma in your life that strengthened you and made you who you are today? Rather than destroy you or weaken you? Unfortunately, I have experienced some traumatic things in my life. But I have turned my life around with support from my family and friends.

I’ve been through all these challenges with NLD, my sexual abuse, family drama related to disclosing the abuse, my first romantic relationship ending, homesickness and being bulimic in college and my con artist experience during COVID.

Or maybe you feel like no one understands you because it’s hard for you to explain what it’s like to be you? I’m here to share with you my experiences in these areas and let you know that you’re not the only one who has these feelings or emotions.

Some of what I’m going to talk about might be triggering for you if you have experienced family drama, sexual abuse, or difficult times in your family. Have you ever had to accept that things won’t change even though you want them to? I know that people will have to radically accept different things in their life. For me, it was with my sexual abuse discourse in my family. I have had to do this many times in my life because of my family taking sides after I disclose the child sexual abuse I had.

Some of what I’m going to talk about might be triggering for you if you have experienced family drama, sexual abuse, or difficult times in your family. When I was growing up I always thought of my parents and brother when I thought of who were heroes or mentors in my life. I thought of them because they were and continue to be so supportive of me with the challenges I have faced in my life especially the NLD, migraine, and traumatic related ones.

Today we will discuss the relationship that I had with my ex for ten months. And what my con artist experience did to my family. I made many mistakes during 2019 because I was blinded by love, and had tunnel vision. I listened too much to what my ex thought about what it was like to live an independent life for adults my age.

This episode is about my sexual abuse and body insecurities so let me forwarn you because I don't want to trigger you in any way. I have been through some challenging things in my life but I didn't let them destroy or break me down for long. I let them strengthen me and turn my life around for the better. I am who I am today because of what I went through.

Welcome to Shero: Be Your Own Hero where we will discover how we can be our own heroes in our lives and realize that we've already done it without realizing that we did. I have been my own hero when I disclosed being sexually abused to my family, I lost 40 lbs 4 times in my life, I disclosed to my parents about the con artist, and when I ended my toxic relationship with my ex. I hope that you are able to gain some insight and messages from these episodes to help you be your own hero and/or inspire others to do the same.
